Crosslake to celebrate Winterfest Jan. 31-Feb. 2

Crosslake will celebrate the 10th annual WinterFest Thursday-Saturday, Jan. 31-Feb. 2, with a wide variety of activities, including a Saturday SoupFest with $3 soup mugs and the sale of $5 wrist bands for discounts from Crosslake area merchants.

Each day beginning Thursday, one of three clues will be released to guide treasure hunters to the lost medallion, hidden in Crosslake. Participants may pick up one new clue each day at chamber member businesses, at the Crosslake Welcome Center or online.

The person who finds the medallion should bring it to Lake Country Crafts and Cones for a prize package.

Crosslake WinterFest will also feature a Kids Coloring Contest. Participants may pick up their coloring contest entry at Crosslake businesses or online and then return their finished entry to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Crosslake Campground before noon Saturday.

I've worked at the Brainerd Dispatch with various duties since Dec. 7, 1983. Starting off as an Ad Designer and currently Director of Audience Development. The Dispatch has been an interesting and challenging place to work. I'm fortunate to have made many friends, both co-workers and customers.
